Wikipedia
Nisroch
Nisroch (Hebrew: נִסְרֹךְ Nīsrōḵ; Imperial Aramaic: ܢܝܼܫܪܵܟ݂; Greek: Νεσεραχ; Latin: Nesroch) was, according to the Hebrew Bible, an Assyrian god in whose temple King Sennacherib was worshiping when he was assassinated by his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer (2 Kings 19:37, Isaiah 37:38).The name is most likely a scribal error for "Nimrod". This hypothetical error would result from the Hebrew letter מ (mem) being replaced with ס (samekh) and the letter ד (dalet) being replaced with ך (kaf). (נסרך for נמרד) Due to the obvious visual similarities of the letters involved and the fact that no Assyrian deity by the name of "Nisroch" has ever been attested, most scholars consider this error to be the most likely explanation for the name.The name is unknown in Mesopotamian sources, but it has been tentatively identified as the god of agriculture. If "Nisroch" is Ninurta, this would make Ninurta's temple at Kalhu the most likely location of Sennacherib's murder. Other scholars have attempted to identify Nisroch as Nusku, the Assyrian god of fire. Hans Wildberger rejects all suggested identifications as linguistically implausible.
